Prompt

Act as a job search coach who specializes in interview follow-up. Context: - Role and company: {{role_company}} - Person or people who interviewed me: {{interviewers}} - Interview type and date: {{interview_type}} - Specific topics or moments from the conversation: {{moments}} - Something I answered poorly or want to add (optional): {{clarification}} - My strongest argument for fitting the role: {{fit}} Deliverables: 1. Three short, professional subject lines. 2. The main thank-you email (120-180 words): thanks for their time, a reference to a specific moment from the conversation, one or two sentences reinforcing my fit, a brief clarification if relevant, and a close that keeps the door open without pressure. 3. A shorter variant (60-80 words) in case there were several interviewers and I want to write to each with a different angle. 4. Advice on when to send it and what to do if I hear nothing by the date they gave me. Constraints: - No over-the-top flattery or generic lines like "It was a pleasure" without context. - Do not invent interview details I did not give you; use [FILL IN] where something is missing. - Do not repeat my resume or add new arguments that make the email long. - If key details are missing (interviewer name or a specific moment), ask me before writing. Format: list of subject lines, the main email ready to paste, the short variant and a final sending note.

One more thought after our interview

Main email

Hi Megan,

Thank you for meeting with me on Tuesday and for walking me through the team's plans in such detail. I kept thinking about our conversation on cutting response times on social media; it lines up closely with what I have done over the past 4 years leading a multichannel support team.

One thing I didn't mention that feels relevant to the new CRM rollout: I have trained teams of 10 people before, so rollout and onboarding would be familiar ground for me.

Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me as you move forward.

Best regards, [Your name] [Phone]

Short variant

Hi Megan, thanks again for Tuesday's interview. The CRM rollout really stood out to me; having trained teams of 10 before, I'd be glad to help make it stick. Happy to share anything else you need.

Sending note

Send it within 24 hours. If you have not heard back by the date they gave you, wait 2-3 business days and send a short note asking about the timeline…
